Cigarettes

A remarkable postmodern comedy of manners of the 20th century, a novel about molecular Brownian relationships of the ghosts of several "lost generations". It traces the fates of several dozen people from fairly prosperous families in the state of New... York, thus it is also a family saga covering a significant chunk of the 20th century - from the 1930s to the 1960s. In addition, this is a novel about painting and art of the 20th century, about the mystery of creativity, about its true and illusory values, about originals and forgeries. It is also a "coming-of-age novel", as well as a rogue novel with its detective intrigue, mysteries, and unexpected plot twists. And of course, it is a book with many layers of irony, which are masterfully assembled into such an elegant Chinese puzzle box that dealing with "Cigarettes" is a pure reader's delight.
